Hannah is a chestnut mare with a flaxen mane and tail.I think she is 18 years old, and she has a white blaze that’s almost a white face, her back feet have stockings and her front has socks. She isn’t my horse, but we have a strong bond! I trust her, and she trusts me back. One of our last contest, another rider had to ride her to, taking turns, and when she tried to get her walking she turned her head and stared at me with a face that said “help me!” It was the cutest thing! She has arthritis in her back legs, but she still canters perfectly! She is no longer aloud to jump or hardcore gymkhana races, but I was cantering around pylons and she wouldn’t turn away from one and jumped right over it! I have never jumped before, because I ride western, but after that, I want to start English! One event, the walk/trot trail, we had to get off, drop the reins, run and touch a pylon, run back, and get on your horse. If the horse was horse was half way down the riding ring, we had to go catch em. Hannah didn’t even move an inch! She just stared at me, like I was a dog walking by! Anyway, if I could, I would buy her, but we don’t have the money. We don’t even own a farm, I just go there for lessons, because she works with my mom at a school. Well,I hope you get a laugh out of this, thanx for reading!

P.S.:When bareback, she is a big comfy couch! She is part Draft and Quarter Horse!Also in the picture, Hannah’s hair is braided, so it’s hard to see the mane!
